Markarian's Chain is a stretch of galaxies that forms part of the Virgo Cluster. When viewed from Earth, the galaxies lie along a smoothly curved line. It was named after the Armenian astrophysicist, Benjamin Markarian, who discovered their common motion in the early 1960s. Member galaxies include M84 (NGC 4374), M86 (NGC 4406), NGC 4477, NGC 4473, NGC 4461, NGC 4458, NGC 4438 and NGC 4435. Near the center there appear the pair of interacting galaxies NGC 4438 and NGC 4435, about 50 million light-years away, known to some as Markarian's Eyes.At least seven galaxies in the chain appear to move coherently, although others appear to be superposed by chance. Six of the points on the chain can be marked by galaxies. The other two points are pairs of galaxies

What we live all our life long is like a mountains chain.
Our life is made of reliefs. Every important moment we can know builds slowly but powerfully the vast landscape of our soul and our faces.

CCWeek24: Breaking the Rules (Add a human)
No human added today! But WHAT IF I could somehow get a model up there to stare at the camera? Lying on her side in a red dress on top of that yellow sign. Maybe the niece of nephew Lee. I wonder if she looks good. She's probably pretty old. Maybe put wings on her. Hmm. I would need insurance. She could fall off.

Markarian's Chain is name for a string of galaxies in the Virgo area. They are about 50-55 million light-years away. The 2 interacting galaxies in the middle (NGC 4438, NGC 4435) are known as the "The Eyes", and they are about 100,000 light-years apart.
They are believed to have come within about 16,000 light years of each other some 100 million years ago, which resulted in gravitational tides from the encounter ripping away material – stars, gas and dust – from NGC 4438 and removing most of the dust and gas from NGC 4435 and reducing its mass in the process. The bigger NGC 4438 was able to hold on to a good portion of the material torn out in the encounter, while much of the material from NGC 4435 was lost.
19th century observer L. S. Copeland named the pair the Eyes Galaxies. In medium-sized telescopes, the galaxies’ bright oval cores look like a pair of eyes glowing in the dark.

I enjoyed cherry blossom viewing with co-workers on that day. As I had already taken cherry blossoms a lot, this yellow flower was seen at all beautifully.

Took this at Phillips Park in Aurora, Illinois. This chain link fence was quite lengthy and much taller than me. The entire fence was covered with this flowering vines. It really was quite a beautiful sight to see. I love how they grow all tangled up with the fence. The sun was setting and I was able to catch this with nice background lighting.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone :-)
